If the point of taking drugs is to “enhance your performance” then Biden took every drug he should NOT have taken before that debate.

Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

Also, make sure your password contains L’s, 1’s, 0’s and O’s in a font deliberately chosen to make them hard to tell apart.

It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

Now ask yourself if there’s any real, physical proof that Zeus, Thor or Anakin Skywalker ever existed.

Musk is an apartheid-loving fascist. Him saying mean things is the least of his problems.

Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”

And you could afford a rack of ribs big enough to tip over your car.

Isn’t it amazing how often the Miracle Whip people end up in the hospital emergency room whenever they have a serious medical problem.

Not being able to breath has a way of reorganizing your beliefs in a big damn hurry.

Someone will find a way to take a looped video of them watching their computer intently and feed it through their webcam. The ad battle will never end.

If “your call is important to them” they would hire enough people to answer the phone.

Yup. What YouTube doesn’t understand is that we’ve got ** other stuff to do.** I’ve got books to read, games to play, music to listen to. None of which requires YouTube.

Being able to touch type an on-screen keyboard with your eyes would be amazing, but we all know the real reason for this invention would be to make sure you’re watching the ads.

I was able to move my Witcher 3 mods from Windows to Linux and the witcher 3 game recompiled the mod scripts for me just fine.

I don’t know if Nexus mod manager will work on Linux (haven’t tried it yet). I’m hoping Proton is already configured for Fallout 4 mods (mod directory locations, environment variables, etc)

Let’s see: Socialism: A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.

I think the widespread adoption of Linux is only going to happen from the bottom up. Corporations aren’t going to widely adopt Linux until Microsoft becomes a costly liability to them.

It will probably be the result of CoPilot. Will it be a huge data breach of bank or healthcare records? Will other governments flat-out refuse to run an OS with built-in spyware? Who knows? But it will be something awful that might even get our “mainstream media” to sit up and take notice.

Basically, don’t make definitive statements about things you don’t understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.

It also helps if you’re not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

Button #3: Restore TimeShift snapshot.

If you’ve recently installed Linux, you’re probably going to be making a lot of changes and installing a lot of stuff over the next couple of weeks. I recommend using TimeShift (comes pre-installed on Linux Mint) to make a snapshot of your system. (It works like System Restore on Windows). The first snapshot takes up the most space but later snapshots only contain the changes you make to your system.

It’s a good idea to take a snapshot before you update things like graphics card drivers or additional desktops. Then, you can always go back to where you were if something gets messed up. You can even rescue a system that won’t boot by booting from your Live Linux USB and running Time shift. It will find your hard drive backups and restore them for you.

(re: learning curve) I’m actually enjoying the process of learning a whole new OS that isn’t constantly getting in my way. I like having software that’s logically designed, like a Word Processor (Libre Writer) that actually has the “Print” button right on the main screen and hasn’t buried it at the bottom of a sub-menu that’s not even on the menu bar.
